XV - A Night To Remember

This song was recorded for the original Kid with the Green Backpack album back in 2008.  I can’t even remember where I found the sample from but it had a really unique melody to me so I flipped it and supported it with some different analog synths I was using on that album.  We went back in towards the end of the sessions for that album and I threw some talkbox parts on the end of it.  We used to refer to this as “the prom song” because the mood to us was like 1984 Napolean Dynamite high school prom meets Superbad craziness! Which would have made for a really dope visual!

XV - T.A.L.K. (they act like kids)

We made this song for the original version of The Kid with the Green Backpack, recorded a while back, and decided to cut it because we we’re working on better songs for the album.  We were in the middle of a different musical phase then, but I still love this song to this day.  I had a guitar sample on the beat originally and I had Jace go in and replay all the guitar parts… we we’re attempting to give a Cure-esque sound to it.  And I told our engineer to put the Bobby Brown verb on the hook! Anyways, here’s “T.A.L.K.” (they act like kids) from the the OG version of The Kid with the Green Backpack.

Asher Roth - G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It’s a New Day)

so it not about fame and fortune / its about believing, and believing in yourself / understanding that this life its life / its liberty, its pursuit of happiness / happiness is not about getting what you want all the time, its about loving what you do have / so get ready, its a new day.

Kanye West - Power

At the end of day, goddammit, I’m killin’ this shit / I know damn well y’all feelin’ this shit

No harmonizing, no autotune, no bullshit. 28.05.2010 will be remembered as the day Kanye returned from his 808 spaceship.

Nas & Damian Marley - Count Your Blessings

And I’ve got somewhere to dress for / And I’ve got no need to stress for / And so I’ll always put my best forth / And count my blessings / And there’ll be no need for tissues / Cause there’ll be no further issues / If you’ve got someone who miss you / Man count your blessings / And I’ve got love and assurance / And I’ve got new heath insurance / And I’ve got strength and endurance / So I count my blessings / And give thanks to the master / That through all the disaster / We’re still here / Together after / Better count your blessings

You’re wishing / You were sitting / In the top position / Picture perfect / Nothing less cause you deserve it / Without the Hermes / You never hurting / You knew that you was / Destined for greatness / For certain / But see the over zealous / They be thirsting / Caught up in emotion / You’re keeping your composure / Like Gershwin / Songs by Earth, Wind / Keep you in a zone / Writing verses / So when your pocket’s light / Know that you have a heavy purpose
